ALLAN W. GoonrnnLow, or PERDITE, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA'.

WHIP.

Application filed May 26,

To algwlzomt 'may concern:

Be it known that ALLAN lV. GoonrnL- Low, a `citizen of the Dominion ofCanada, residing` at Perdue, in the county of Battleford and Province ofSaskatchewan, Canada, have invented certain new and useful improvementsin Vhips, of which the following` is a specification.

The present invention relates to a. whipping apparatus adapted forconnection to farm implements such as binders or the like. The principalobject of which is to provide a. device of the character describedwhereby the driver may strike any of the desired draft animals drawingthe implement conveniently while in a sitting position.

lV ith this and other objects in view, the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

Figure lis a perspective view of a binder embodying my presentinvention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the standard il. which a suitable whipis mounted.

Fig. l is a. vertical section of the standard base.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the whip actuating arm. y

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bracket functioned to guide the whipactuating arm.

Referring to the drawings, like numerals designate like parts in thevarious drawings.

The numeral 6 indicates the frame. of the binder, 'T the double-tree,Sthe whip, 9 the whip actuating arm, 10 the'seat. As illustrated in Fig.1, the whip is positioned on theI double-tree. although the same may bepositioned on the binder as may be desired.

Referring t-o Fig. 3 the standard base is preferably stamped from sheetmetal and configurated with the ridges 11 and 12, and depressions 14 and15. This base is preferably substantially mounted on the doubletree 7.

Referring to Fig. 2 the standard consists of a tubular member '1G havingsemi-cycloidical base configura-ted on its lower extremity. A.' wing setscrew 17 is positioned in the upper portion of the tubular member 16 andfunctions to rigidly hold the whip positioned therein. Pivot pins 18 and19 are positioned on,` the tubular members 16 1921. serial No. 472,757.

as illustrated for engagement with the whip actuating arm. Hookv .2O ispositioned in the lower extremity of the tubular member 16 and isconnected to a retractile spring 21, the lower end of which engages withhook 22 centrally positioned in the standard base. 'I'.heustandard 16 istherefore rockably positioned on thel standard base 16 and held inposition by the retraetile spring 21.

The lower end of the Whip actuating arm is constructed as indicateddiagrammatically in Fig. 4. `Apertures 23 positioned in the brackets 24which are secured to the arm 9 fit over the pivot pins 18 and 19 forminga pivoted connection. A suitable handle 25 is positioned on the upperextremity of the whip actuating arm 9. Bracket 26 is mounted on the bodyof the binder,'through which passes the arm 9, the said bracket beingfunctioned to keep the same in relative position with the seat.

The driver sitting upon seat 10, desiring to strike one of the draftanimals, grips the handle 25 of the. whip actuating arm 9 and pushes thesame in the direction of the draft animal he desires to strike. Thispushing movement tilts the whip in the desired direction and strikes thedraft animal.

It is obvious that the retractile spring 21 keeps the whip in a verticalposition when not in use.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction of my inventionwill be clearly understood, and, therefore, a more extended explanationhas been omitted.

lVhat I claim as new is:

1. In combination with a. farm implement, a. whipping apparatusconsisting of a vertical standard rockably mounted on a base, a whipvertically positioned in the said standard. means for securing said whipin said standard, an actuating armfpivotally mounted on the saidstandard. a spring disposed in vertical alignment with the standard andconnected/with the base, a guide bracket mounted on the said implementfunc-tioizd to guide the said actuating arm and a handle eonfigurated inthe end of the actuating arm.

2. In combination with a farm implement, a whipping apparatus.consisting of a vertical standard rockably. mounted on a base, a. whipvertically positioned in the said standard, means :tor securing the Saidwhip in said standard, :m :wmuff arm pifpzl'ly momma! un tlm Luidmandan-L av ,fluide hrz-clim mountml un Hwszlid irmyhemmt fuuctiunvd twgudv w Suid avuutingmun,
